  3. Introduction • WiMAX • a fourth-generation wireless-access technology, • has made significant progress both in the standard forums and with wireless network carriers. • it is important to interwork with existing third-generation access networks before it is uniquely and ubiquitously deployed. • This article addresses the full-mobility approach and presents a solution using mobile IP (MIP) • a dual-mode device with two (WiMAX and EVDO) separate radios • ideally suited for service providers who use a phased approach when evolving from third-generation to fourth-generation networks.

  4. Network Architecture – WiMAX • Based on the IEEE 802.16e air interface • orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) • The Network Working Group (NWG) of the WiMAX Forum specifies the end-to-end system architecture, detailed protocols, and procedures beyond the air-interface standards [1] WiMAX Forum, “Network Architecture Stage 2: Architecture Tenets, Reference Model and Reference Points.” [2] WiMAX Forum. “Network Architecture Stage 3: Detailed Protocols and Procedures.” [7] IEEE Std 802.16e-2005, “IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed and Mobile Broadband Wireless Access Systems,” Dec. 2005.

  5. connectivity-services network (CSN) access-services network (ASN) a global mobility anchor Security anchoring, network-access-server (NAS) functionality, traffic accounting, and a mobility proxy client can potentially connect over the R6 interface to any ASN-GW intra-ASN-GW,inter-ASN-GW, and anchored-CSN mobility ASN-GW relocation release 1.0 v. 3

  6. Network Architecture – EVDO a global mobility anchor accepts MIP registration Base station controller and packet control function (BSC/PCF): Control and management for one or more BTSs and relays packets to the appropriate packet data-serving node (PDSN)

  7. Evolution-Data Optimized (EVDO) • requires a point-to-point protocol (PPP) layer between the MS and the packet data-serving node (PDSN) • MS always performs MIP registration following a PPP negotiation • makes the link set-up time on EVDO a little longer than in WiMAX • unicastaccess terminal identifier (UATI) session. • The lifetime of a UATI session can be longer than a PPP/MIP session, • but a PPP session can exist only if the MS already has a UATI session. • the air-interface session set up (including negotiation of session parameters and protocols) takes a few seconds • To reduce the hand-off time, pre-establishing an air-interface session and leaving it idle (without a PPP/MIP session) while the MS is active in a WiMAX network is desirable. • But consumes more battery power [3] 3GPP2 A-S0008-A, “Interoperability Specification (IOS) for High Rate Packet 1 Data (HRPD) Radio Access Network Interfaces with 2 Session Control in the Access Network.” [4] 3GPP2 X.S0011-D, “CDMA 2000 Wireless IP Network Standard.”

  8. Network Architecture for Interworking

  9. Inter-technology handoffs • break before make • make before break • make-before-break-with-simultaneous-bindings • accounts for the best service continuity with a minimum packet loss during handoffs • additional algorithms (e.g., duplicate packets coming along the two links) required

  10. Network Architecture for Interworking - Interworking models • tightly coupled model • The ASN-GW of WiMAX connect to the IP core network through PDSN • the EVDO core network treats the WiMAX network as an extension of an access network. • The MS implement an EVDO protocol stack on top of the WiMAX • no practical standards • the complexity of implementing this model must be evaluated carefully vis-à-vis the benefits • loosely coupled mode • each network follows its unique network entry procedures, authentication methods, intra-technology mobility, paging, and so on • the WiMAX and EVDO networks are connected to a common IP core network, • enabling common billing for both the networks and access technology specific authentication

  11. The data paths are separate for WiMAX and EVDO access networks. • useful when the same provider owns the same core network and can serve disparate access networks • an essential feature during transition from third-generation to fourth-generation wireless networks.

  12. Network Architecture for Interworking - Client MIP and PMIP models • Client MIP (CMIP) model • the MS integrates an additional MIP stack • PMIP model • the network (ASN-GW), on behalf of the MS, sends a MIP registration request to the HA • WiMAX networks support both CMIP and PMIP, whereas EVDO supports only CMIP.

  13. Network Architecture for Interworking - Functionality of Various Components • HA • enforces the use of the same Network Access Identifier (NAI)on both the WiMAX and EVDO networks • support simultaneous bindings for the WiMAX and EVDO seamless handoff • maintains both the old and the new bindings through both technologies for a brief period of time • supports session revocation and releases the resources

  14. MS • supports dual radio (two separate MAC and physical layers) • possibly with simultaneous bindings during handoffs • uses the same NAI in both WiMAX and EVDO • uses CMIP procedures compliant with IS-835D [3, 4] in EVDO networks and MIP procedures compliant with WiMAX [2] • accessible with the same IP address (HoA) to any correspondent node • a connection manager (CM) function monitors the signal strength in the other network for possible handoffs • Trigger handoffs based on configuration parameters

  15. AAA • authenticates WiMAX terminals as specified in [1, 2] and EVDO terminals as specified in [3, 4] • stores the assigned HA address and the HoA corresponding to a NAI • returns the same HA address for an MS when there are subsequent binding requests for the HA

  16. Network Architecture for Interworking - Network Protocol Stack

  17. Network Architecture for Interworking - QoS Issues • EVDO supports a device-initiated QoS model, • the QoS classifier is obtained mostly from the MS • WiMAX initial release supports a network-initiatedQoS model • QoS classification information must come from the network • Handoffs • WiMAX  EVDO • the MS in an EVDO network can request the same assigned QoS. • EVDO WiMAX • require further algorithms not presently developed.

  18. Call Flows

  19. WiMAX ↓ EVDO using CMIP in WiMAX

  20. WiMAX ↓ EVDO using PMIP in WiMAX

  21. Conclusions • We discussed the need for interworking and presented an interworking model between WiMAX and EVDO networks using MIP protocols • provide session continuity • We discussed the loosely coupled network architecture with separate data paths between WiMAX and EVDO networks. • We presented detailed call flows for both CMIP and PMIP implementations in WiMAX • and discussed the various steps of the call flows. • the interworking model presented here can be easily extended to other access networks • WiFi, the universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS), long-term evolution (LTE), and so on.
